On the hillside, the King of Thessaly, Admetos, looked at the terrifying figures that were emerging from the dungeon, his face turning pale.
Gigantes!
They were the bloodline of the Titans, also called "Earthborn."
Legend has it that when the second Divine King, Kronos, castrated Uranus, the Father of Heaven, on the command of Mother Earth Gaea, Uranus's divine blood sprayed from his wounds below, which was absorbed by Gaea, and thus she bore a large number of Titan Giants, the forebears of the Gigantes.
Latter, the Titanomachy broke out, Mount Olympus and Mount Othrys engaged in bloody slaughter throughout Thessaly, achieving final victory.
But those Titan bloodlines who did not submit to the rule of Divine King Zeus merged into the Gigantes, continuing their resistance against Olympus.
However, in the face of the increasingly dominant demigods of Olympus, the Gigantes clan frequently battled and lost, suffering continuous defeats.
